2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7 to 5.9 swap Videos

Love the truck was thinking of doing that to mine also! Where does a guy get a good line on aftermarket stuff for the first gen Dakota? Up here in Canada it seems to be slim pickings.if you can even find anything. 

Prerunnerlover, honestly the swap was easy, Just swap out the 3.9 for the 5.9 if you can get ahold of one, honestly I was lucky. The guy I bought it from had everything already. I paid less that five grand for what I got now, and I could not be more happier. I have a 96 and everything swapped over fine, as far as a 99' Im pretty sure it is all the same. As far as performance....are you kidding me? a 3.9 vs a 5.9? oh there is such a difference. LOL. Gas mileage...forget that...Fun mileage? There is plenty of that! Honestly if you can do it yourself it makes it that much more worth it. Don't ever doubt yourself as far as making more power. If you can dream it you can do it! That's my philosophy! It makes things so much better! To do things yourself, makes things more interesting! If you need any information just message me!

How hard was it to swap the 5.9 in? I have 1996 Dakota with a bad 5.2 and the NV3500 5sp manual.

How much do you spend??

Which flywheel do you have to get? Really great video man. Planning on doing this soon. And by the way, I have a '99 half ton with the 5.9. It's four wheel drive, extended cab, short bed with 215,000 miles on it and it has the 46rh. But the only thing that has ever been done to the transmission is that the pan has been dropped and then the filter changed and I put in a bottle of the Lucas stop slip with the ATF+4. Only slipped a couple times since then. But yeah I want to get this done before my transmission completely shits out on me. 

What was involved to swap the tranny?

I am very interested in this swap and researching to convert my 1st gen Durango 5.9L to a 5 speed. Are you willing to share any of your research with me? I am interested in actually doing it and not just talking about it.

I'm not a chevy hater or an ls hater. I just dont like cross breeding ever. Mostly in old hot rods where sbc is always put in because they are cheap to build. I also agree that this would have been a really cool project if you had done a late model hemi swap. But that would have likely doubled your cost. But you get what you pay for

what a complete waste e perfectly good mopar is now ruined by a pos shevy

Don't put Gm junk into mopar. Build the good old magnum motor or do a new gen hemi swap.

i bought a wrecked 2500 ram , that was my doner truck ,, i did all the work myself , so it only cost me what the doner truck cost ... i will say if dont have a hole truck for parts dont atemped it , and if the trucks are the same years it will easyer as far as electrical connectors matching up ... i had to update everything , harnesses , dash , ABS brake system ,,,, ny truck is a 97 ,, doner was a 99 , nothing matched up .. but the engine did bolt right in without any mods .. thanks
